6-Carboxy-X-rhodamine (6-ROX) is a bright, photostable orange-red fluorophore with excitation and emission maxima near 568 and 595 nm, respectively. It exhibits a high quantum yield and is well-suited to excitation filters centered at 540 - 580 nm and emission filters centered at 580 - 620 nm. ROX is widely employed for labeling peptides, proteins, nucleotides, and nucleic acids, making it highly useful in fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, and sequencing applications.
This NHS- (succinimidyl-, SE) activated derivative enables covalent modification of primary and secondary amino groups in peptides, proteins, amino-modified nucleotides, and other amine-containing biomolecules, yielding stable amide bonds. The product is provided as single isomer.
